A spacecraft at launch is subjected to a harsh acoustic and vibration environment resulting from the passage of acoustic energy, created during the liftoff of a launch vehicle, through the vehicle's payload fairing. In order to ensure the mission success of the spacecraft it is often necessary to reduce the resulting internal acoustic sound pressure levels through the usage of acoustic attenuation systems. Melamine foam, lining the interior walls of the payload fairing, is often utilized as the...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were completed for a series of convergent nozzles in participation of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) 1st Propulsion Aerodynamics Workshop. The simulations were performed using the Wind-US flow solver. Discharge and thrust coefficients were computed for four axisymmetric nozzles with nozzle pressure ratios (NPR) ranging from 1.4 to 7.0. The computed discharge coefficients showed excellent agreement with available...

As early as 1946, Lieutenant General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, speaking of the capabilities which modern tactical air forces had demonstrated during the European air war, observed that flexibility in the application of air forces was necessary in order to achieve maximum results. Flexibility, he stated, enabled air forces to achieve maximum responsiveness and effectiveness in coordinated efforts with other military forces and permitted the diversion of tactical air power to meet critical situations...

Serving on the board of any nonprofit organization has taken on added significance in recent years. There is greater accountability for trustees and for the overall mission and effectiveness of the organizations that they have the ultimate fiduciary responsibility to maintain. The changes have challenged not only the personal commitment that board members should have for the organizations that they oversee, but the changes also bring into sharp focus the competencies and skill sets that are...

With the election and re-election of Barack Obama as the first Black President of the United States came the vexing yet perhaps expected conclusion that issues of race and ethnicity were no longer grave concerns. Somehow Obama's presence suggests the transcendence of race. While a nod to the political progress made in terms of social race relations may be in order, Obama's election does not translate into a "color-blind," "post race" American nation. This essay explores how...

To date, there is an empirical gap in the evidence of the relations between teachers' classroom goals and values, two key variables linked to students' achievement motivation. The purpose of this study was to investigate this relationship in an Australian teacher sample. We surveyed 102 high school teachers from seven schools in Cairns, Queensland using items of Wentzel's Classroom Goals Scales and Schwartz's Portrait Values Questionnaire. Results showed several positive associations between...

This study investigated the perceived use of conversation maintenance strategies during synchronous computer-mediated communication with native English speakers. I also correlated the relationships of the strategies used with students' speaking ability and comprehensive proficiency level. The research questions were: (1) how were the learners' perceived use of conversation maintenance strategies related with one another?; and (2) what were the relationships of those strategies with learner's...

Do you know how to change your relationship status on Facebook? What about your language status? In most web 2.0 contexts, music preference or relationship status are more important than information about one's linguistic repertoire. In language learning communities and affinity spaces (Gee, 2004), however, language status is forefronted. This contribution will look at the function of "native-speakerness" and "language-learnerness" in a wide variety of CALL-oriented online...

A broadband high-gain bi-layer log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) is introduced for conformal load bearing antenna structures (CLAS) applications. Under the proposed scheme the two layers of the LPDA are printed on two separate thin dielectric substrates which are substantially separated from each other. A meander line geometry is adapted to achieve size reduction for the array. The fabricated and tested array easily exceeds more than an octave of gain, pattern, and VSWR bandwidth.

Among US men, prostate cancer is the most common cancer (besides non-malignant skin cancer), afflicting over 200,000 each year, and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death, over 30,000 per year. Thus, our long term goal is to develop synthetic lectin (SL) arrays for the detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer. We are pursuing this goal because healthy and diseased cells produce different biomarkers, which provide unique signatures by which these cells can be distinguished. Taking...

Accidental spills and chemical contamination from leaking fuel and materials (lubricants, paints, etc.) at McMurdo Station have caused environmental concerns, and snowmelt runoff may tend to transport these contaminants. Therefore, the objective of our study was to quantify the pollutant types and levels in the runoff throughout a season. To understand what types of analytes were present and being carried by the runoff into Winter Quarters Bay, we collected water samples from the runoff at...

This article is from Scientific Reports , volume 4 . Abstract Experiments on polycrystalline metallic samples have indicated that Grain boundary (GB) structure can affect many material properties related to fracture and plasticity. In this study, atomistic simulations are employed to investigate the structures and mechanical behavior of both symmetric and asymmetric ∑5[0 0 1] tilt GBs of copper bicrystal. First, the equilibrium GB structures are generated by molecular statics simulation at...

Learning style is an individual's natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations. A core concept is that individuals differ in how they learn. This study focused on to look at a group of TESL undergraduates' preference in learning styles. The finding showed that the students have different kind learning styles in language learning. Most of them seem to have moderate preference on the active, sensing and global learning, mild preference on the...

In this investigation, a bi-linear shear deformable shell element is developed using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation for the large deformation analysis of multibody shell structures. The element consists of four nodes, each of which has the global position coordinates and the gradient coordinates along the thickness introduced for describing the orientation and deformation of the cross section of the shell element. The global position field on the mid-plane and the position vector...

The Canadian public is supposed to feel guilty for the tragedy of Bonnie Mooney. When you hear the story, and not just the feminist spin, I hope you find, as I did, that Bonnie Mooney deserves no respect, no sympathy, and no place in the public discourse of how to deal with infantile women. Kudos to the real hero of this story: Michelle Mooney. I hope she recovered from her tragic upbringing.
